Any plans on making this a native app without the overhead of having a server service running?


Hi. I'm not planning a native app at this time. I created an experimental native app using Godot, but in the end I decided to focus on the web app. The app is a PWA so it provides a native like experience if that is desired (works on both mobile and desktop)--this is how I use it when I'm on my phone or tablet. Most users likely already have an ADS-B tracker that usually includes a local lighttpd web server for 2D traffic viewing. The app integrates with these existing setups. Users who don't want to alter their setup can run the app using the included Vite development server and websocket proxy to connect to a ADS-B tracker. Instructions are in `docs/LOCALHOST-SETUP-GUIDE.md`.
